  • Page 5 OPERATION OF D600 FIRE PUMPS SUMMARY OF WHAT TO REMEMBER 1. Close delivery valves and drain valves, before attempting to prime pump. 2. Always keep primer shut off valve closed when working from hydrants or relay pumping. 3. Open primer-operating valve fully with 1/4 throttle to re-prime or eliminate trapped air from suction line.
  • Page 6: Engine Operation

    Note: This D600 pump is fitted with two REC 22 batteries wired in parallel. This gives a built in redundancy should one battery fail. Charge batteries fully before trying to start engine fitted with electric starting.
  • Page 7 Starting The Engine If The Electric Start Will Not Turn The Engine Over: Starting the engine with the recoil starter can be difficult if not practiced as the compression ratio of a diesel engine is high. However with practice and the right technique the engine will start with the recoil starter by following the recommended steps below.
  • Page 8 Priming the LD600 Pump Operating the primer The D600 primer should typically develop up to minus 0.6 bar in an airtight pumping system. The primer is an exhaust-eject type, extremely reliable and requires only minimal maintenance. The primer is activated by a combination spring return, on-off valve connected to the exhaust system and a one-way valve situated at the pump inlet.

    PUMP OPERATION Source of water supply Water may be drafted from a pond, lake, stream, cistern, stock tank, or well but, whatever the source, the static lift must not exceed 5 metres (16 ft) from the center of the pump to the surface of the water, and a lift not exceeding 3 metres (10 ft) is recommended.
  • Page 10 PUMP TESTING Measurement of pump performance Pump performance is measured by the quantity of water it can deliver per minute against a certain pressure called “Total Head”, or “Net Pump Pressure” as it is usually termed in fire pump testing. The Net Pump Pressure is the sum of the pump discharge pressure as shown on the pressure gauge with which the pump is equipped, and the total suction lift converted to equivalent kPa.
